Northern California Undergraduate Mathematics Conference
When:                April 8, 2006
Where:         Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA
Who:         Undergraduates from Northern California (and their faculty sponsors)
What:         Participation and presentations on all areas of mathematics including applications to other disciplines.

 The Sonoma State University Mathematics Department is inviting undergraduate mathematics students from Northern California to participate in an undergraduate mathematics conference. In this conference, undergraduates will have the opportunity to present and attend 15-minute talks about projects that they are working on. These projects could include undergraduate research projects, independent study projects, or any other independent work they are doing that goes beyond the standard course curriculum. The conference will conclude with an invited talk by  John Martin  tailored toward undergraduate math students.

Students from all years of study are encouraged to participate and give presentations on any area of mathematics, including applications to other disciplines. While we do hope that many students will give a talk, we welcome all students to attend, as well as all faculty.

 CONFERENCE SUPPORT:   The Northern California Undergraduate Mathematics Conference is partially funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and is administered through the   Mathematical Association of America   (through DMS-0241090).

Pacific Coast Undergraduate Mathematics Conference

The conference will be held on Saturday, March 25th, 2006 on the campus of Occidental College in Los Angeles, California.  The conference will begin at 8 a.m. and run until 5 p.m.  The conference is designed specifically for undergraduates who are majoring or have an interest in mathematics.  We encourage students of all experience levels to consider giving a talk at the conference and we are offering a special session for freshmen and sophomore student speakers.  The keynote speaker for the conference will be Dr. Jennifer Quinn from Occidental College/University of Puget Sound.  In addition, the conference will feature two panel discussions, one focusing on summer opportunities for students and the other discussing career opportunities in mathematics.

Funding for the Pacific Coast Undergraduate Mathematics Conference is provided by NSF Grant DMS-0241090 through the MAA Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conference program, which can be found at www.maa.org/rumc.
